Ultimately this makes for plenty of bad guys for everyone to fight and as always beautiful animation when they eventually are able to.

While the red and white Chaikas may have had a truce last week, this week they’ll go head to head in the tournament along with Vivi.

Additionally, “with the Acura siblings on course to reunite with their old mentor, and Gillette finally rejoining the action, we may also get some closure on several unresolved side stories.

As usual, the show’s strong ensemble cast helps add excitement to a familiar premise.” Anime News Network’s review of this episode of “Chaika the Coffin Princess” season two is rated B, and it appears to be largely because of the delay in action necessary to set up the new story arc.

Nevertheless, perhaps fans will have plenty to look forward to as the tournament gets underway.
